August 8, 2020 - Une bouteille qui me confirme l'estime que j'ai pour ce domaine.
Belle couleur brillante, montrant peu d’évolution. Le nez, finement herbacé et citronné, me fait penser que j’aurais pu le placer à Chablis.
La bouche est ample, avec une énergie et une plénitude saisissantes. C’est frais, aérien et minéral, avec un équilibre idéal. La longueur est spectaculaire, avec une complexité aromatique et une suavité de grand vin. Il est à son apogée. Mon blanc de l'année jusqu'ici. 94-95 pts1 person found this helpful Comment -

May 16, 2019 - Au Café Boulud (cork fee waived!)
Nez citronné avec des notes de melon. La bouche est puissante et encore bien tendue, presque tranchante. La puissance prend le dessus sur l’aromatique à ce stade. Il a besoin d’air. Finale iodée qui développe doucement un côté minéral. Je crois qu'il a besoin d’un peu de temps encore ou davantage d’aération. Comme très souvent, le dernier verre est le meilleur. Je garde l'impression qu'il ne s'est pas pleinement révélé. -

November 13, 2018 - Chassagne tends to be looked upon as the slightly poorer cousin of Meursault and Puligny, but in the right hands it is as good as both of these (if not better) and in profile seems to combine the richer, buttery components of a fine Meursault with the flinty, mineral characteristics of a Puligny. This Paul Pillot offering is everything that's best about a fine Chassagne - refinement, elegance and purity. The terroir in this example is crystal clear like a mountain stream. There are the minerally, lemony, zesty bones of a Puligny and the richness of a Meursault, but somehow retaining the clarity and delineation of all that's great about the best Chassagne. Caillerets is probably the best of all Chassagne's vineyards and this is one of the finest I've tasted. Not quite as powerful as the Jean-Marc Pillot offering, but oozing class. Excellent. Estimated maturity: 2016 - 2020.

March 11, 2017 - La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Rich fruit to start, stays fresh start-to-finish while great minerally textures emerge middle-to-finish. VG now with upside.

May 28, 2015 - MASTER ESAGONALE FRANCIA; 1/14/2015-7/30/2015 (HOTEL WESTIN PALACE MILANO): Degustato alla cieca. Mare, polvere da sparo e zolfanello. Solita purezza di Thierry nello sciorinare lo zest del limone, gli olio essenziali dei fiori e nel padroneggiare la dolcezza del rovere.
Bocca densa e compatta, molto soda. Manca dell' esuberanza del Virondot di Marc Morey e la parte migliore è il lunghissimo finale, polposo senza essere grasso, ma davvero tenace e minerale.
Vino da attendere, ancora forse penalizzato dall' eccesso di solforosa.
